00:00Boy, Dr. Zhivago was at Disneyland this week.

00:04He went with his seven-year-old.

00:06Now, what was it?

00:08Tell me about this trip to Disneyland.

00:09Seven-year-old girl you took there.

00:11What a nightmare that is.

00:12I'm sure she had the time of her life.

00:15Yeah, we skipped a little bit because of COVID.

00:18And so she hasn't gone as often as her siblings.

00:21And I figured, ah, random Thursday in January.

00:25How crowded could it be?

00:29Crowded.

00:30Oh, it's always crowded.

00:32That place is the most unbelievable cash vacuum

00:36I've ever seen in my life.

00:37Like, I even got upset when I had to park and get

00:40on that little, like, caboose that they drive you

00:42from the parking lot to the park.

00:44That's another ordeal in itself.

00:47I was stressed out before I even got to the window

00:49to pay the tab, which is enormous.

00:51And then by the time you stand in line all day

00:54and you see you've spent $7,000,

00:57I wanted to kill myself.

00:58Your boy, Carver High, went to Disney World, same thing.

01:00Don't even tell me that place is the happiest place on earth.

01:03That's just for kids.

01:04Kids, it's happiest.

01:06For the parents, it's a nightmare on Elm Street.

01:09But then again-

01:10Wait a minute here, $7,000.

01:13Did you get that star private tour

01:15and the guy walked you around?

01:16Jesus, $7,000?

01:18I mean, honestly, I spent at least five grand

01:21at Disney World and Disneyland.

01:22Are you kidding me?

01:23Staying there, going there.

01:25I don't, you left.

01:26You went and left because you live in San Diego.

01:28I go there and stay.

01:30And then, you know, it turns into an ordeal.

01:33So you're going to Purdue and Oregon in Eugene on Saturday?

01:37Can't be that.

01:39Yeah, well, that's the trade-off.

01:41So I was taking the little one on Thursday

01:43and then the wife has manages all the kids on Saturday,

01:46up, leaving at eight, back by flag football

01:50at 7 p.m. for my son.

01:52So it'll be fun.

01:53Let's see if the Boilabergers can win in Eugene.

01:56It's Dr. David Chow.

01:57You can follow him at, obviously,

01:59ProFootballDoc on X and Sixscore.com,

02:02S-I-C-score.com for the Sports Injury Central.

02:06All the inside skinny on injuries that you need,

02:08everything you need to be ahead of the game for betting.

02:12As you know, it's smarter to be on sports grid

02:13and you tie it in with Sixscore.

02:15You're good to go on game day.

02:17But Cole Hardman, log, limited practices all week.

02:20Will he be activated for the game?

02:22Or are they gonna save him?

02:25Well, I think it's a coaching decision.

02:27I think he's ready to be activated.

02:28Remember, when you're talking about

02:30an upper body chest injury, his legs are good.

02:32He's been there.

02:33I think it's just a matter of what Andy Reid wants to do,

02:36but he's ready to go.

02:38What about Jalen Watson?

02:41Well, he's been full practice,

02:42so he should be good to go.

02:44The question is, is he good for 50 plays or 25, right?

02:49And Chris Jones coming off the rest with his calf

02:52is gonna be good to go.

02:53That's a big help for the Chiefs defense.

02:56What about Mahomes off of his numerous ankle problems?

03:00Yeah, I've been asked that from a lot of people.

03:03What about Mahomes and his rust?

03:05And what about his ankle?

03:06I'm like, the improvement of the ankle

03:09outweighs any potential rust.

03:11First of all, Mahomes doesn't really have rust, right?

03:14Mahomes magic.

03:15But his ankle, his high ankle should be near 100%,

03:19which is bad news for the Texans.

03:21What about Joe Mixon for the Texans?

03:24Because he was limited,

03:25and then he was not even at practice this week.

03:29Well, here's what that means.

03:32Nothing on Wednesday, limited Thursday, out Friday.

03:36That means he got hurt Thursday in practice.

03:39There's no film.

03:40He's had ankle injuries before.

03:43It's a playoff game.

03:44I think he plays,

03:45but I think he's going to be less than 100%

03:48when he does play.

03:49And Shaq Mason, obviously,

03:51is not really back fully yet either.

03:53And that's been a big difference maker

03:55for Mixon on the ground.

03:57Robert Woods and Al Shayer

03:58are both listed as questionable,

04:00but Woods didn't practice,

04:02and Al Shayer only got to limited practice.

04:05Do either of them get on the field?

04:09Well, I think they're both going to play.

04:10Robert Woods is going to play.

04:12It's always vet rest for him.

04:13And Al Shayer, the other, the linebacker,

04:17look, it's a playoff game.

04:19He's got a high motor.

04:19He's going to try and play as well.

04:21So the commanders had a bunch of guys

04:23that were limited in practice yesterday.

04:25Crowder, Farrell, Wagner.

04:28Are any of them in doubt for Washington?

04:31No, I think they're all going to play.

04:33Bobby Wagner's going to play.

04:34And the big one is Deron Payne.

04:36He dislocated his thumb.

04:37He'll have a thumb spike, a cast splint on,

04:40and still play.

04:42And they need him because of no Jonathan Allen

04:44still from his peck.

04:46What do you expect from Montgomery of the Lions

04:49after his knee injury?

04:52Look, we never thought he needed surgery.

04:54We talked about it on your show.

04:55He's back, full go.

04:57The only difference is I think he's now the 1B.

05:00Before he was heard, he was the 1A.

05:01Jamar Gibbs was the 1B.

05:03Now I think Gibbs is the 1A and Montgomery's the 1B.

05:08A.J. Brown's wonky knee.

05:09How is it?

05:12Vet knees.

05:12That's one of the reasons Tennessee didn't resign him.

05:15It's been on and off.

05:17My worry is he didn't look great last week

05:19and that was coming off essentially a week 18 bye for him.

05:24So that doesn't necessarily bode well.

05:26And obviously, Nekobe Dean is done for the season

05:29for the Eagles.

05:30Tyler Higbee had blood in his chest.

05:32It sounds like me when I had my heart valve

05:35blow off my heart and I had blood spraying

05:37all over my chest.

05:38Is he okay?

05:40I think so.

05:41To correct media reports,

05:43he was never hospitalized from that game.

05:46He was sent to the hospital for evaluation,

05:48then discharged and flew home with the team,

05:51which gives him a chance to play.

05:53And even though he, quote, coughed up some blood,

05:56I think he's got a chance to play.

05:58How dangerous would it be for the Ravens

06:00to play Zay Flowers on a rock hard field

06:03in single digit weather?

06:06Well, I don't think that's a consideration.

06:10He's not playing.

06:11He's officially listed as doubtful now.

06:13I saw a video of him this morning.

06:15I'd forgotten which knee was injured.

06:17I looked at him doing agility drills.

06:18I'm like, oh, it's the right knee.

06:20He's not anywhere near 100%.

06:22We said all along on your show,

06:23he's out at least the first two playoff games.

06:26Next week is maybe if Baltimore can get by Buffalo.

06:31Will Ray Davis clear protocol for the concussion

06:34or is it just gonna be James Cook for Buffalo?

06:37Probably just James Cook.

06:39You can't predict concussions,

06:40but probably just James Cook at this point in time.

06:44What was your favorite ride at Disneyland, Dr. Chebago?

06:48Anyone that had a lightning pass

06:50without a, where I didn't have to wait.

06:53That was my favorite ride, okay?

06:55Like, you know, waiting 45 minutes for Alice in Wonderland.

07:01That was not wonderful, but my daughter wanted to do it.

07:04The lightning pass where you could walk on.

07:06That's the way to go.

07:07Any of those rides.

07:09And she surprised me.

07:10That place is the cleanest place on earth.

07:12I'll give him that.

07:13All right, Dr. Chebago, have a great weekend.
